- Green Cheek Pineapple Conure named Kiwi. Hand raised. Possibly female. Under 6 months old. Very tame, happy, and healthy!
Hello all! I'm so glad I found this site as a new pineapple GCC dad. Have had little Kiwi for about a month now and she is about 12 weeks old.
She is very comfortable with us, no fear, no aggression (some minor nippiness, but successfully minimizing it with training so far). Breeder did a great job hand raising.
All is well, but noticed a new curious behavior this week that I wanted to inquire about...
Little one recently began flipping over on her back (with or without help) and seemed to be wrestling with us... a little nippiness accompanies this. She seems to like it and getting tummy and under wings rubbed at the same time....
Question: Is she just playing or is there some other meaning to this behavior in a GCC at this early age?
